  4. Windows Defender is the native antivirus that Microsoft offers completely free of charge in Windows 10 and Windows 11, an antivirus that is regularly updated to detect any type of software that wants to run wild on the computer. However, there are many users who ignore it and prefer to use third-party antivirus solutions. Also, due to its system-wide integration, it is not always the best option in certain circumstances due to the tight control it has over the entire system. If you are contemplating the possibility of deactivating Windows Defender (it cannot be uninstalled), then we show you different reasons both to carry out this action and not to do so. Install other antivirus. If we install an antivirus in Windows, first of all, the first thing we must do is deactivate Windows Defender. Installing another antivirus that works as a complement to Windows Defender is not a good idea, since both antiviruses will fight to analyze all the files that we download from the Internet, the web pages that we visit and, in general, analyze our computer in real time in search of threats. , seriously affecting the performance of our PC. Problems with old applications. Many are the old applications that, since they have not been updated for a long time, are not signed by authorized developers known by Microsoft, so the system natively detects that the application is not signed and automatically blocks its download, a process that we can easily reverse it by accessing the message it shows us. Improve privacy. Any antivirus is designed to protect our PC against any type of threat, not to guarantee our privacy. If we want our computer to be protected at all times, we must give it the necessary access permissions to do so. This reason can be applied to both Windows Defender and the rest of the antivirus that we have at our disposal. Worth? Windows Defender is the native antivirus of Windows, which is an advantage in terms of performance that we will not find in any other program, especially on older computers where system performance is essential to offer the best possible user experience, a very important factor that may be more than enough to assess or not disable Defender in Windows. In addition, its operation is linked to the Windows firewall, another native Windows tool that works hand in hand with Defender. If we install a third-party application, the control of the firewall in Windows passes through the hands of the antivirus that we install, so, once again, on old computers, a performance drop will be noticed that will greatly impair the user experience. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/seguridad/razones-desactivar-defender/
  5. The big complaint today is the high price of gaming graphics cards, especially those from NVIDIA. We have seen how year after year these have become more expensive, to a large extent, due to the adhesion of hardware for Ray Tracing and DLSS. Well, thanks to NVIDIA's financial report we know that the benefit per graphics card is 57%. We have to clarify that what is indicated is the gross benefits. This means that it is what you earn on average for each graphics card you sell, to put it simply. Then, you have to discount operating expenses such as payroll, loan amortization, current expenses such as electricity, water, internet and other similar ones. Knowing how much these "current" costs are is quite complicated. More or less we can estimate that it represents between 20-25% of the gross profit margin. But hey, what matters to us are some of the interesting facts from the financial report. NVIDIA tells us how much it makes per graphics card The data, without a doubt that interests us, is the gross profit per graphics card, which is 56.9%. At least the data that has fallen by 8% compared to last year is interesting. It is not clear if it has to do with an increase in production and transport costs or, if it has been due to a downward adjustment of the margin. Let's extrapolate it to data. If a graphics card 'x' costs 1,000 euros, NVIDIA gets a net of 569 euros. This means that the manufacture of the graphics card has cost 431 euros. Keep in mind that this figure is if NVIDIA is the one who sells the graphics card, something that it does not usually do. We have intermediaries in the market, companies that sell us custom graphics cards. Some are ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc., who buy graphics cards from NVIDIA and customize them. These intermediary companies, also called assemblers or partners, have to make money. Since they are large volume purchases, what NVIDIA usually does is reduce their unit profit margin. We don't know how much, but we can assume that they will lower it to 40-45%, so that the assembler can earn money. Here is the background of the issue. Where NVIDIA makes the most money is not with gaming graphics cards, it is with professional ones. Something that the financial report makes quite clear to us. AI gains strength against gaming We can see in the financial report how the sale of solutions for Data Center is 15,000 million dollars. It represents an increase in revenue of 41% year-on-year, which would be driven by artificial intelligence. As there are no intermediaries, being NVIDIA who manufactures and sells the product, the profit margin may be higher. We have the other side of the coin and it is gaming. The company reveals it has revenue of $9.1 billion from the gaming graphics card segment. It represents a 27% drop in revenue, which would largely be driven by the high price of its new graphics. These data would confirm that the company cannot release the RTX 40 Series because they are brutally expensive. But, although they are not able to sell them, the company refuses to lower the price of them. They continue to keep prices high as stock accumulates on the shelves and collects dust. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/beneificio-nvidia-tarjeta-grafica/

  10. From Elizabeth II's corgis to the marginalization of Prince Enrique, these are the most outstanding anecdotes, data and curiosities of the coronation of Carlos III. Charles III was crowned King of the United Kingdom, in a solemn ceremony held on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, London. These are the most notable curiosities of the day. 1. Lady Di's jewelry Lady Di Kate Middleton's jewelry, during the salute from Buckingham Palace. Kate Middleton, wife of the crown prince, caught all eyes on her with her dazzling outfit, but above all because of the tribute to Diana Spencer, her famous mother-in-law. Middleton wore Diana's favorite jewelry, the diamond earrings with South Sea pearls that she displayed on several occasions. Middleton also wore the George VI scallop necklace that belonged to Elizabeth II, in another tribute that did not go unnoticed. 2. 52 arrests The London Metropolitan Police reported that they arrested 52 people during the coronation day of kings Carlos III and Camila, for causes related to public disturbances. The most famous of those arrested is the head of the anti-monarchy organization Republic, Graham Smith. He was arrested for protesting against the monarchy. 3. Party despite the rain Thousands of people took to the streets of central London to celebrate the coronation, despite the heavy rain that fell on the British capital. Not only English, but also numerous American, Austrian, French, Brazilian and even Japanese visitors covered themselves with the British flag and carried images with the king's face. 4. Enrique, separated from the balcony Prince Enrique, during the coronation day of Carlos III. King Carlos III greeted the crowd from the balcony of Buckingham Palace together with Queen Camila and her families, but without her youngest son Enrique, separated from the official functions of royalty. It was already known that Enrique's wife, Meghan Markle, would not participate in the ceremony to stay in California with her children Archie and Lilibeth. Enrique did go to Westminster Abbey for the solemn coronation, although he left the temple directly for the airport, just after the religious service. 5. Nor was Andrés Another illustrious absent from the balcony greeting was Prince Andrés, younger brother of Carlos III. Andrés is excluded from royal duties due to his sexual scandals related to businessman Jeffrey Epstein. The tradition of waving from the balcony dates back to 1851, when the legendary Queen Victoria appeared there amid celebrations for the opening of the World's Fair that year. Since then, that greeting has served to mark special occasions in the history of the monarchy. 6. Elizabeth II corgis Detail of Camila's dress, with the embroidered corgis. Her coronation ceremony has been full of symbols, some obvious, others more hidden, such as the fact that Queen Camila wore the image of Queen Elizabeth II's two beloved corgis embroidered on her skirt. Muick and Sandy live at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, the estate that Prince Andrew shares with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who adopted them after the death of Elizabeth II. 7. The heir's oath For the first time in history, only one member of the monarchy and nobility has sworn allegiance to the king. It is about the prince and heir Guillermo, who at the end has approached an emotional Carlos III to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, William," his father told him. 8. William's children The little children of Prince William and Kate Middleton also caught the eye. The three wore the colors of the Union Jack: Jorge in red and Honor Guard attire; Carlota, in white, and little Luis was in blue with a Hainsworth Garter Blue Doeskin jacket. Prince George, eldest son of the princes of Wales, was one of those in charge of wearing his grandfather's tunic, both at the entrance and at the exit. 9. A biblical epistle The British Prime Minister, the conservative Rishi Sunak, read a fragment of the Epistle to the Colossians during the coronation. Sunak, although he professes the Hindu religion, participated in the religious service officiated by the Archbishop of Cantebury, Justin Welby, primate of the Anglican Church. 10. There is no longer a queen consort With her coronation, Camila stops using the title of "Queen Consort" to be, simply but magnificently, Queen. According to British tradition, the wives of monarchs are crowned queens, something that is not the case with the husbands of queens, as was the case with the Duke of Edinburgh, Philip, father of Charles III and husband of Elizabeth II. https://www.primicias.ec/noticias/el-chat/curiosidades-jornada-coronacion-carlos/
  11. For this, a General Electric model TM 2500 turbine was installed. This increase will reduce the import of energy from the National Interconnected System. Petroecuador EP informed that from next September the Shushufindi asset, province of Sucumbíos, will contribute 12 MW (megawatts) more power to the 53 MW currently demanded in that field. For this, a General Electric model TM 2500 turbine was installed in the Shushufindi field and at the moment, technicians from the state oil company define the last details related to the operation of this turbine, with the aim of starting the test program at the end of May and thus operate in optimal conditions with residual gas. The general manager of Petroecuador, Ramón Correa, explained that the entry of the 12 MW will allow reducing the import of energy from the National Interconnected System to the Petroleum Electric System, which is beneficial for the country, especially in times of drought. The state company recalled that from December 2022 to date the company has already reduced the import of energy from the National Interconnected System, receiving a power in the range of 43 MW to 46 MW, which was previously in the order of 50 MW, which represents 14% of the total power required for exploration and production. According to figures from the state oil company, during this period and in 27 days the energy transfer was less than 43 MW. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/el-campo-shushufindi-aportara-desde-septiembre-proximo-con-12-megavatios-mas-de-potencia-al-sistema-electrico-petrolero-nota/
  12. Although we know that modern dogs and wolves shared a common ancestor around 15,000 years ago, no one is sure how they first became domesticated…or even when. What we do know is that, at some point, dogs went from ignoring humans to wanting to be their best friends. Despite sharing about 99% of their DNA and belonging to the same species, dogs and wolves have a considerable number of differences. This is because, according to scientific estimates, these two animals separated in their evolution, at least, more than 15 thousand years ago. In this way, despite being breeds of the same species (wolf: canis lupus / dog: canis lupus familiaris), there are multiple areas in which our pets resemble and differ from their non-domesticated version. “The evolutionary origin of the dog dates back approximately 100,000 years, from its common ancestor with the wolf. However, the morphological changes that substantially differentiated it from its wild ancestors occurred between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago, probably due to the shift in human societies from hunter-gatherers to a more sedentary agricultural-cultural lifestyle that imposed new pressures. selective to dogs”, indicates the study Communication between domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and men, published in the Latin American Journal of Psychology. In addition to this, humans have selectively bred dogs with certain characteristics (hunting skills and obedience) that have determined the particularities observed in modern dogs, and that differentiates them from the rest of their species. Research by Duke University scientists suggests that the domestication of dogs also altered social maturation through a selection process to attract humans. "Dogs became more flexible in using inherited abilities to communicate cooperatively with a new social partner that they previously feared and expressed these unusual social skills early in development," reads the study published in the journal Current Biology. Although they have significant physical similarities, dogs have a smaller skull and brain than the average wolf. In addition to this, wolves have larger teeth and jaws due to the survival needs experienced by this wild species. The latter is also reflected in the size of both. Thus, wolves are generally heavier, averaging between 22 and 34 kilograms, while dogs average around 13 kilograms. With the variety of dog breeds that exist, they can have more rounded or drooping ears, but wolves always have them upright and triangular. Likewise, wolves are almost the same size for everyone, while dogs, due to genetic mutations, can be small, medium, or large. Dogs have a life expectancy between 12 and 18 years, while wolves can live 7 years in the wild and 15 in captivity. It should be noted that despite the great variability in dog breeds, they are still closer in genetic and physical terms than when compared to a wolf. Due to their domestication process, dogs are comparably calmer and more obedient than their evolutionary cousins. In that sense, canine pets tend to remain in a state of youthful development even into adulthood, due to their dependence on their owner. This phenomenon is called "neoteny", which implies that the juvenile stage of a species is longer than that of its ancestors or close species. The latter is related to the shortening of the muzzle in dogs. By contrast, wolves tend to mature quickly, and unlike dogs, which are pack animals, they can live solitary and independently. Thus, some studies indicate that although they can be trained like dogs, wolves cannot be tamed. In a study published in 2017, scientists identified a gene that allows dogs to be distinguished from wolves. Thus, a gene was found in the former that has similarities with people diagnosed with Williams-Beuren syndrome. "This finding suggests that there are commonalities in the genetic architecture of the PEP and the canine mapo[CENSORED]tion and that directional selection may have targeted a unique set of linked behavioral genes of great phenotypic effect, allowing for rapid behavioral divergence of dogs and wolves." , facilitating coexistence with humans”, indicates the study. In this way, although pets have similarities with wolves, they have differences that allow us to coexist, in different spaces, with dogs. https://www.elespectador.com/la-red-zoocial/perros/cuales-son-las-diferencias-entre-perros-y-lobos-noticias-hoy/
  13. The Monza name within Ferrari has been long and fruitful. It began in the 1950s with purely competition models and has now been revived by the exclusive Monza SP1 and SP2. Although today we are going to talk about one of its most outstanding predecessors, the Ferrari 750 Monza Spyder that was available between 1954 and 1956. It helped mark a golden age in endurance competition with an interesting paradigm shift. To date, the Cavallino brand had specialized in V12 engines, with the Gioacchino Colombo block giving them much joy. However, to enter the World Endurance Championship predecessor, they went to work with the Aurelio Lampredi-designed inline-four engine. With this 3.0-liter block, a power of 250 CV was achieved, much more outstanding than the 170 CV of the 2.0-liter engine that the Ferrari 500 Mondial had, which had been its predecessor. On a technical level, it was one of the first Ferrari cars to use four-wheel disc brakes, something key to improve its performance in competition and to control those 250 km/h that it achieved at the top. It came complete with an independent double-arm front suspension and a rigid axle rear suspension for precise handling. With an exemplary set-up, it obtained an outstanding presence in competition during its few years of life. It was driven by drivers of the stature of Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hill and Juan Manuel Fangio; there is even that fateful anecdote that Alberto Ascari died in 1955 at the wheel of a Ferrari 750 Monza Spyder. In 1956 they stopped doing it and focused on their evolutions, with the 500TR and 860 Monza, leaving only 31 units manufactured of what could be the best valued Monza. Currently it is a collectors item, with some really special units. Few specimens can boast of never having dropped below seven figures in present times. In recent years we have seen several Ferrari 750 Monza Spyders change hands at public auctions and their price has always been above one million euros. Some sales stand out, such as that of the 530M unit in 2013 for no less than 4.07 million dollars or that of the 510M unit for 5.22 million dollars in 2016. In short, a jewel of motorsport that will always be remembered. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/ferrari-750-monza-spyder/490940
  14. Michael Andretti is back at the Miami Grand Prix with his network of financial backers, in his bid to win a Formula One team Michael Andretti is back at the Miami Grand Prix with his network of financial backers, in his bid to win a Formula One team. Andretti Global is one of four groups interested in submitting an "official expression of interest", through a series of documents, to the FIA, which in January created a formal process to explore the possible expansion of the grid, beyond the current 10 teams. . The initial deadline of April 30 was extended to May 15. This process began after Andretti, who in 2021 failed to buy the Sauber team, asked the FIA to expand the grid so that he could place an American team with two cars. Last year, at the first Grand Prix in Miami, Andretti visited each team, in an unsuccessful attempt to request that they sign a petition in support of his efforts. All but two of the teams have vehemently opposed the addition of Andretti or the grid expansion in general, as they do not want to dilute revenue. F1's current regulations contain provisions for up to 13 teams, and the FIA is not expected to rule on any new requests until late summer. The original deadline was June 30, but it was moved with the extension of the period to submit applications. The four known applicants are Andretti, in a joint venture with General Motors and Cadillac; an initiative by Craig Pollock, called Formula Equal, which would have funding from Saudi Arabia; a British-based team dubbed the Hitech Grand Prix; and LKY SUNZ, a Southeast Asian-backed outfit. Back in Miami, where Andretti was touring the paddock, team principals who have opposed his involvement acknowledged that they ultimately have no say in the process. "First of all, we have no say in this," said Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. "If we were asked our opinion, we would give it, but we are not part of the process of choosing or not choosing a team." Wolff has argued that any new entrants will need to have the funds to invest aggressively to help the sport grow. “We've been through some really tough times, where Formula One hasn't been the success it is today, and therefore I think anyone who comes into the sport should bring something new to the show,” he said. “It can help us grow our audience or have a lot of marketing dollars invested, something similar to what we have done in these years.” https://www.independentespanol.com/deportes/andretti-espera-noticias-sobre-expansion-de-f1-b2334204.html
  15. With disorders such as obesity and diabetes on the rise, the concept of cardiometabolism has gained relevance in the medical community as it addresses the need for routine check-ups and a healthy lifestyle. The details in the voice of a professional Obesity and diabetes occupy a central place on the agenda of the international medical community, to the point of being considered two great epidemics of the 21st century. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "over the past three decades, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically in countries of all income levels." Likewise, for the organization, "obesity has almost tripled worldwide from 1975 onwards." As these two metabolic disorders are directly associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, experts warn about the need for routine check-ups and adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and physical activity. From a better understanding of the relationship between metabolic disorders and the risk of developing cardiovascular pathologies, the concept of cardiometabolism arises. It is a discipline whose development has expanded greatly in the last 5 years. This link has been known for a long time, but advances in knowledge have allowed us to explore new tools for a more comprehensive approach to this problem. Currently, metabolic factors such as excess weight and diabetes are among the most important determinants for the development of cardiovascular diseases. In Argentina, considering the po[CENSORED]tion over 18 years of age, one in 10 people has diabetes and 6 out of 10 have some degree of excess weight. These are truly alarming figures and they are constantly increasing. To gauge the seriousness of the situation, it must be taken into account that between 40 and 50% of the risk of suffering cardiovascular disease is due to metabolic disorders, according to the results of different epidemiological studies. How do metabolic pathologies such as diabetes and obesity affect the heart? Mainly, through excess visceral fat (Note: the fat that is located in the abdomen area). Although fatty tissues play an important role in the body, since they are a reservoir of energy, those that are found at the intra-abdominal level, such as those that surround our internal organs, are directly related to various health disorders. This happens because excess visceral fat produces a series of substances that favor the development of diabetes (due to the resistance it generates to the action of our insulin), arterial hypertension and a greater risk of lipid disorders and high production of triglycerides. But they also directly damage our arteries and heart muscle. Various cardiovascular pathologies are associated with these disorders. One of them is vascular disease, such as coronary disease; Here we include the progressive obstruction of the arteries that feed our heart and that lead to the development of the well-known angina pectoris (chest pain) upon exertion. In turn, it is also associated with the acute obstruction of one of the arteries due to the sudden rupture of an atheromatous plaque, generating the typical pictures of myocardial infarction. Added to this is the development of heart failure and electrical disorders of the heart such as atrial fibrillation, a type of disorder that generates an irregular heart rhythm. Food education There are two parameters that can guide professionals to determine the presence of visceral fat in the body: body weight and waist circumference measurement. This last indicator is associated with intra-abdominal fat and, in this case, it is essential to warn about the risk of cardiometabolic disorders. However, one of the complications of these factors is that relevant symptoms are not observed until patients reach more advanced stages. Patients can have elevated glucose, blood pressure, or cholesterol values and not have any symptoms or warning signs. Hence the importance of carrying out clinical controls in order to detect the presence of these risk factors early. An adequate physical examination, blood pressure control and some laboratory parameters are sufficient to initially detect the presence of metabolic disorders. As scientific knowledge of cardiometabolism grew, the medical community became more aware of the importance of educating the po[CENSORED]tion about the direct relationship between inadequate eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle with the development of metabolic disorders that later lead to cardiovascular problems, among other complications. Currently there are more and better tools to achieve better metabolic control in patients with diabetes, as well as pharmacological or even surgical strategies that, integrated with nutritional education, can promote weight loss and minimize the associated risk. A current problem and a look to the future The increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes suggests that, in the coming years, the cardiovascular complications associated with these disorders will also grow. An important fact is that, according to estimates from the national Ministry of Health, 30% of school-age children are overweight. However, it is possible to intervene today in this complex scenario to improve the situation in the future. To reverse this, action should be taken at different levels. On the one hand, it is important to emphasize what we call 'primary prevention', which consists of promoting that the po[CENSORED]tion maintain a healthy weight. It is achieved by transmitting proper eating habits and the need to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. In this way it is possible to prevent the development of metabolic complications. Fortunately, in recent years, a series of pharmacological tools have also been developed that act by regulating both appetite and satiety signals at the brain level. This favors weight loss in a very significant way. This reduces the risk of complications caused by obesity. Something similar happens with patients with diabetes, since modern treatments, combined with a healthy eating plan and physical activity, allow for adequate metabolic control and cardiovascular protection.

  16. Last September, there were several explosions in the pipelines that transported gas from Russia to Europe through the Baltic Sea. Since then, the cause of the explosions, which knocked out the two Nord Stream gas pipelines, has not been clarified. But now a new documentary indicates that Russian ships, capable of conducting underwater operations, were detected at the site of the explosions. According to the documentary, the vessels were located using intercepted communications from the Russian navy. When the explosions happened, some in the West took aim at Russia. Moscow, for its part, blamed Western countries. More recently, intelligence reports emerged blaming pro-Ukrainian operatives, although they did not point to the Ukrainian government itself. Formal investigations are still underway in the countries near the site of the explosion. So far, these nations have only said that they believe the explosions were the result of sabotage and not some kind of accident. But the latest show in a TV documentary series "Putin's Shadow War" and its accompanying English-language podcast "Cold Front" offer a possible clue pointing to the involvement of Russia. The series on broadcasters DR from Denmark, NRK from Norway, SVT from Sweden and Yle from Finland revealed last month that Russian ships appeared to be mapping wind farms in the North Sea, including off the UK coast. "Ghost Ships" Now the latest episode of the series focuses on what they say are suspicious ship movements in the lead up to the pipeline explosions. The ships are believed to include the Russian naval research vessel Sibiryakov, the SB-123 tugboat and a third ship in the Russian naval fleet that the media has been unable to identify by name. These were the so-called "ghost ships", which had their transmitters turned off. However, the broadcasters say they were able to track their movements, using intercepted radio communications the ships sent to Russian naval bases between June and September 2022. The movements were tracked by a former British naval intelligence officer, who worked interdiction for the Russian Baltic fleet until he retired in 2018. This person, who remains anonymous in the documentary, says he used open source information and radio communications to conduct his research. These ships are said to have been in the vicinity of one of the blast sites for several hours, and in one case for nearly a full day. One of the ships, the Sibiryakov, is considered to be capable of underwater mapping and surveillance tasks, as well as launching a small underwater vehicle. The former British naval intelligence officer says the vessel took an unusual sailing route in June, around the site where the pipeline would later explode, and changed its communications pattern to a secret receiver. Another unnamed vessel was also present in that area the previous week in June. And a third ship, the SB-123 naval tug, is said to have arrived just five days before the September explosions. Radio communication suggests that she remained there throughout the afternoon and evening before sailing back to Russia. Satellite images Satellite images examined by the broadcasters are said to support the claims about the unusual routes, and other reports in Germany indicate that the ship was in the area on 21 and 22 September. This vessel can be used to support and rescue submarines and has the capacity to carry out operations on the seabed, according to experts interviewed by the stations. Last week it emerged that the Danish military had taken 26 photos of another Russian navy ship that specializes in underwater operations near the site of the explosions. A Danish newspaper said the SS-750 underwater rescue ship was photographed four days before the nearby explosions. That ship can carry a mini submarine. The documentary does not say that there is conclusive evidence of what the ships were doing or that Russia was behind the explosion. But it raises questions about the unusual nature of the activity. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65470868
  17. This indie adventure that came as part of PS Plus Extra has reached one million players and opens in box on July 18. Players who subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra have access to a vast catalog of PS4 and PS5 video games that is occasionally updated with launch titles. It happened, for example, last summer with Stray, the po[CENSORED]r title starring a cat, and in March it happened again with an indie-style adventure developed by Awaceb: Tchia. Kepler Interactive's open world came to both PS4 and PS5 digitally and as part of the subscription, but it was also released on PC via the Epic Games Store. All this seems to have allowed it to exceed a million players in less than two months, a remarkable figure for a proposal of this size. Its managers have thanked him with a message on social networks: "Tchia has reached 1 million players! We are incredibly proud and grateful for this incredible milestone. Thank you so much for your support on this journey. Thank you!" The physical edition arrives in July In addition to this achievement, the developers of the title that tells us a story inspired by New Caledonia have announced that the Oleti physical edition will arrive on July 18 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. These have the differential aspect of including a cosmetic pack inspired by other Kepler Interactive games, being able to customize the appearance of Tchia, the ukulele, the boat and the glider with styles from works like SIFU, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Cat Quest and, yes, Scorn. We leave you below the official description of Tchia: "Join Tchia on a tropical open world adventure as she embarks on a mission to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant Meavora, the archipelago's ruler. Climb, glide, swim, and boat across beautiful islands while exploring a sandbox filled of physics. Face the cloth soldiers created by Meavora in open-ended encounters where creativity will give you the upper hand. Control any animal or object you find, make new friends and improvise with your ukulele, which you can play freely. A story about the step to adulthood inspired by New Caledonia". https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/tchia/noticias/se-estreno-ps-plus-podia-recordar-a-breath-of-the-wild-han-jugado-millon-personas-hay-fecha-para-edicion-fisica-tchia
  18. Pokémon TCG Live will be permanently available next month and it's the best chance the card game has ever had. After spending more than half a year in the testing phase, Pokémon TCG Live will be released definitively on June 8, 2023. The application will take over from Pokémon TCG Online to become the only digital platform where we can enjoy officially from the franchise trading card game. In a year in which the only news regarding the main games will be the downloadable content of Scarlet and Purple, those responsible for the saga launch an ordeal to take advantage of the potential of a side of the franchise that is somewhat ignored by the players. Pokémon TCG Live takes over on trading cards The great objective of Pokémon TCG Live is to present an alternative way of enjoying the saga that, although it is po[CENSORED]r, has never quite reached the public it aspires to. According to those responsible for the franchise, the release "offers beginning and veteran players a fun and accessible way to experience the collectible card game." A proposal that promises to include different game modes and be more adapted to what we would expect from a title released in 2023. In short, we will have access to more content that, above all, seeks to be a gateway for new players. That does not mean that they are going to forget their function. As always, we will be able to scan our physical cards to pass them into the game and create decks with which to compete against other members of the community. In fact, the game's premiere will take place on the same day that the expansion for the trading card game "Scarlet and Purple - Evolutions in Paldea" is released. The plan is not to eliminate what already worked from Pokémon TCG Online, but to expand the experience. The Pokémon Company wanted to remind fans of the saga that they will be able to transfer an important part of their progress to their new title. All compatible cards as of March 1, 2023 will carry over to the new Pokémon TCG Live, even if we trade them in the next few weeks. Of course, no new content will be released for the video game until the closure of the servers takes place on June 5. You can now play Pokémon TCG Live The beginning of the Pokémon TCG Live beta was a disaster in terms of performance and bugs. However, the game has already undergone several months of testing and everything indicates that it will be released on June 8 without too many shocks. Any player who is interested in switching to the new version right now can do so without problems, enjoying the end of the trial period. In fact, all players who log in to the new game before June 6 will get special commemorative gifts. Remember that the title is available on iOS, Android, Mac and PC. You can download it through the official website. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/the-pokemon-tcg-online/noticias/novedad-ano-pokemon-no-tiene-nada-que-ver-escarlata-purpura-despues-diez-anos-llega-sucesor-pokemon-tcg-online-para-animar-a-fans-juego-cartas
